Someone doesn't like her popularity. They don't like that she's selling candy on the street. They're probably paying him to harass her hoping that she will move. Very common tactic among landlords.
It is in the district. How? MPD cooks the books. How? They don't allow officers on the street who take the reports, to classify the crime. They have certain members of management make the decision about how it will be classified for reporting purposes now. One of the ways they lie to the public and say crime is at an all-time low.
